The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 779: Friendly Business is XX
It's not just Jing Tian who has trouble expressing her feelings, but also all the major record companies.

By the time it came to January 1, the staying power of "Hush" was already obvious to the naked eye - more importantly, major companies estimated that the long-tail effect of this album should be the longest among all Zhou Yi's current Chinese albums.

"Model", "She Said", "He Doesn't Understand", "Love Transfer", "Nocturne", "Hair Like Snow", "Change Yourself", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "General's Order", and "Our Song".

Ten songs, ten hit songs in total!
Throughout the history of Chinese pop music, there has never been such a domineering album - Zhou Yi, beyond everyone's expectations, took pop music to the extreme in his fifth album, and turned the entire pop market upside down with just one move.

"She Said", relying on the title of Gemini, rode on the top of all charts and was far ahead of the second place "Nocturne" in various data;
The battle between "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "General's Order" is inseparable.

"Love Transfer" is ahead of "Hair Like Snow" and suppresses "He Doesn't Understand", and "Our Song" presses "Change Yourself" and "Model" in the ninth and tenth place.

When the 5th came, "Hush", which had only been released five days since the album was released on December 12st, directly crushed "Two Butterflies", which had emerged and was trying to reach the top, out of the top ten.

Music Billboard, Chinese Music Chart, Chinese Songs Chart, Capital Voice Radio, etc., all the organizations that have ranking charts in the mainland, do not include other singers in the top ten lists.

In the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as the second-tier cities of Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chongqing and Nanjing, local radio stations at all levels, music channels and even TV music on-demand stations, Zhou Yi can be said to have single-handedly put an end to singers such as Zhou Chuanxiong and even Wu Bai who were still on the road.

Zhang Shaohan, who sang the title song of her new album "Aurora", was still hovering between 7th and 5th on the charts last week. SHE, who started to attack the mainland market at the end of the year, is about to top the weekly charts with "Persian Cat";

Zhou Chuanxiong's "Ocean of Men" suddenly emerged and squeezed into the top ten. Wu Bai sang the song "Sudden Self" originally written for Huang Xiaohu but she didn't make it popular in his concert album "Life Heat" released by himself, and the popularity soared into the top ten of the year.

Jay Chou, who was at the peak of his career, Lin Junjie, a new singer with rapid momentum, and even Luo Zhixiang, Fish Leong, Cai Yilin, Wang Xinling and other singers were still fighting against each other before Zhou Yi released an album, but they were all crushed after Zhou Yi came.

Of course, there are also inevitable "accidental injuries" -

Sun Yanzi hadn't even had time to warm up his seat on the throne when Zhou Yi kicked him off.
Hu Yanbing's "Beauty" and Wang Feng's "Fly Higher" were all affected and had no ability to struggle at all.

There is no need to say more about Warner's miracle new band F.I.R, which can only tremble in fear under Zhou Yi's shadow.

In first- and second-tier cities, Zhou Yi used only five days to sweep everything with ten hit songs from his new album, taking the top spot with an unquestionable strong attitude, directly breaking the record for the fastest time to the top in the history of Chinese music.

At the same time, it also broke the record for the fastest dominance in the top ten in the history of Chinese music!

Although the previous record for the fastest top ten ranking was held by Zhou Yi himself.

《The only one who can defeat Zhou Yi is Zhou Yi himself! 》

"Terrifying dominance! The Chinese music scene is Zhou Yi's comfort zone!"

"One special, ten hits, setting a new record!"

"Professionals say the quality of Zhouyi's major book has declined significantly, is it suspected that he has run out of ideas?"

"The first man to reach 100 million downloads in the ringtone market: Zhou Yi!"

"Demand exceeds supply, sales of Zhou Yi's new album (including pre-sales) exceed 1.7 million!"

"Zhou Yi taught the Chinese music scene a lesson with his actual actions, telling them what real, unquestionable market appeal is. Before him, there has never been a singer who could repeatedly break music records.

"More importantly, as a new generation singer active at the intersection of the times, Zhou Yi personally opened up a new market called ringtones, and used over 100 million downloads to tell everyone how huge this new market is..."

After the traditional music charts announced their results, China Mobile also announced the results of the ringback tone market:

In this previously quiet market, apart from Yang Chenggang's versions of "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Two Butterflies", the rest of the top fifteen are songs written and composed by Zhou Yi or himself.

"Love Transfer" has reversed its suppression in the traditional music singles chart and topped the download champion in the ringtone market - with a miracle of 1580 million downloads in five days, it broke the seven-day download record of 903 million set by "Two Butterflies" just last week!

It is also for this reason that Zhou Yi has become the first singer to have his songs downloaded over 100 million times since the emergence of the ringtone market!

"Yes! That's it! That's it! I knew it! I knew it could work! Zhou Yi is simply a genius!"

Foshan, the office of the owner of Peacock Records.

Chen Rentai, the founder of Peacock Records, threw away a pile of newspapers and was so excited that his saliva flew all over the place: "Quick, let Zheng Yuan come over."

Zheng Yuan was the first singer he signed after he founded Peacock Records, a singer who was already well-known in the music industry.

Zheng Yuan's new album "Really Good Intentions" is scheduled to be released on January 1. As a little-known figure in the mainstream circle, he does not need to avoid Zhou Yi's limelight like Sony forced Wang Lihong to do. Chen Rentai even helped him gain promotion in the ringtone market.

Zhou Yi made the big plate and he just drank some of the soup.

As early as 2003, when Zhou Yi used the song "Super Star" to promote China Mobile's ringback tone, he had set his sights on this emerging blue ocean market.

However, since there were not many people who were optimistic about it at the time, he could only look for singers to sign contracts while waiting for the ringtone market to mature.

That's how Zheng Yuan was fooled by him - attracted by the blueprint he drew. "Mr. Chen, you're looking for me?"

"Zheng Yuan, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? The ringback tone market has great potential, and the domestic sinking market is too big."

Chen Rentai, who looked a little bit thriving, pointed at the newspapers and the SP company data he had obtained, and said with deep emotion: "Zhou Yi's report really didn't lie, and the content is very real. Those big companies and traditional record companies are all hesitant, so we'll get to eat this piece of meat!"

He is really confident about Zheng Yuan's new album, because the title song is a song he asked Zheng Yuan to write based on Zhouyi's remarks and reports, which is specifically aimed at the sinking market. The song is called "Ten Thousand Reasons".

The record market may not sell well, but the ringtone market can definitely follow Zhou Yi and reap the benefits!
The fact that "Two Butterflies" has become so popular is solid evidence!

After being stuffed with pancakes, Zheng Yuan walked away feeling dizzy.

In the corridor, I accidentally ran into a new band signed by the company.

"Sorry, brother Yuan."

"It's okay, it's mine."

Zheng Yuan came back to his senses and waved his hands: "Zeng Yi, Ling Hua, have you finished recording the album?"

As new artists signed by Peacock Records, the two formed a group and are scheduled to release a new album "Above the Moon" around April or May this year.

..........................................

"No--

"No, I just released a new album, and you want me to record a new one?"

Capital, signing event for new album "Hush".

Zhou Yi, standing on the stage holding the microphone tightly, faced the pairs of passionate eyes in the audience and said with a smile: "I'm not Sun Yanzi, can you find someone else to exploit?"

???

"Zhou Yi, don't get too tired! Once the new album is released, it won't be a new album anymore. Hurry up and write a new album!"

"I'm a fan of Sun Yanzi, can you sign her autograph for me?"

"I……"

The scene suddenly became noisy and full of laughter.

Zhou Yi folded up his shirt sleeves and walked to the center of the stage and stood still: "I see many people saying that the past five years in the music industry belonged to me and to Warner. But in fact, the past five years have been a period of great changes in the record industry.

“That’s why I chose to develop the ringback tone market.

"Just like when President Hui made the decision to sign me, when I decided to explore the ringtone market, many record companies were not optimistic about my decision. For the sake of convenience, I will call them friendly companies here."

Zhou Yi shrugged with a smile on his face. "Of course, not only competitors, but also many senior music critics were not optimistic. There were endless comments saying Zhou Yi was an idiot and Warner was an idiot. Fortunately, I was right again this time."

The words were spoken calmly, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in the tone.

But in this gathering of die-hard fans, it was more sensational than anything else - it turns out that Giegie has been suffering from such great psychological pressure!

Now that he is successful, he just brushes aside the hardships in a nonchalant tone so as not to worry his fans.

He really made me cry to death!
"Those friendly companies are idiots!"

Suddenly, the loud shouts from the audience controlled Zhou Yi on the stage for three seconds.

Oo?

"Zhou Yi's autograph session in the capital: competitors are idiots!"

On January 1, the headline of the freshly published Daily News was so authentic.

However, as time goes by, those originally niche voices have gradually expanded.

The voices talking about Zhou Yi's "exhaustion of talent" and the decline in the quality of his albums began to accelerate and began to appear frequently in some newspapers, forums and magazines.
